Hi all !

In this time, I need working with the file format DBF ( Read and write ).

So if you have any ideas of this request, plz tell me. tks a lot !

Hello,

If you have to append data in a already existing file, you will have to set the parameter APPEND = 'X' in GUI_DOWNLOAD

Thanks Vikranth.Reddy !

I viewed FM "GUI_DOWNLOAD". in FM "GUI_DOAWLOAD" have parameter APPEND, this parameter use for some format file but don't use with format DBF.

U can see code of this FM in line 202 to line 216. the parameter APPEND_MODE don't have in list parameter of subroutine gui_dbf_download.

When Export to formate DBF use "GUI_DOAWLOAD" with parameter APPEND = 'A', data in file is overwrite.
